Gas connection
The cooker should be connected to the gas-supply by a corgi registered installer. During installation of this
product it is essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the supply from the appliance for the convenience
of any subsequent removal or servicing. Connection of the appliance to the gas mains or liquid gas must be
carried out according to the prescribed regulation in force, and only after it is ascertained that it is adaptable
to the type of gas to be used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the paragraph headed “Adaptation to
different gas types”. On some models the gas supply can be connected on the left or on the right, as
necessary; to change the connection, reverse the position of the hose holder with that of the cap and
replace the gasket (supplied with the appliance). In the case of connection to liquid gas, by tank, use
pressure regulators that conform to the regulation in force. The gas supply must be connected to the left of
the appliance. Be sure that the hose does not pass through the rear of the cooker touching hot parts.

HOT PARTS

600 mm

Important: make sure the supply pressure conforms with the values shown in the table entitled “Caracteristics of
the burners and nozzles”. When the cooker is installed between cabinets (recessed), the gas connection
must be effected by an approved flexible hose with bayonet fitting (BS 669 Current Edition). The gas inlet
for the cookers is a threaded G 1/2 gas female fitting.

Connecting the gas supply
To make the connection, a flexible hose should be used corresponding to the current gas regulations which are:

the hose must never be at any point in its lenght in contact with the “hot” parts of the cooker;

the hose must never be longer than 1,5 metre;

the hose must not be subject to any tension or torsional stress and it must not have any excessively narrow
curves or bottlenecks;

the hose must be easy to inspect along its entire length to check its condition;

the hose must always be in good condition, never attempt to repair.

Important: the installation must comply with gas safety (installation and use) regulations 1984. In all cases for the
above, by low, a qualified, corgi approved engineer must be called for installation.

Disposing of the appliance
When disposing of the appliance please remove the plug by cutting the mains cable as close as possible to the
plug body and dispose of it as described above.

Adapting the cooker to different types of gas
In order to adapt the cooker to a different type of gas with respect to the gas for which it was produced
(indicated on the label attached to the lid), follow these steps:
a) replace the hose holder mounted on the appliance with that supplied in the bag of “cooker accessories”.

b) Replacing the burner nozzles on the hob:

remove the grids and slide the burners from their housings;

unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner, and replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas
(see table 1 “Burner and nozzle characteristics”).

replace all the components by repeating the steps in reverse order.
